For Advisor Nexus + GoDaddy (or any registrar)
Setting up a subdomain for email sending is one of the best ways to improve your email deliverability and protect your main domain.
This is a one-time setup that typically takes 5–15 minutes.
Once it’s done → you’ll be able to send your marketing and campaign emails through Advisor Nexus with better inbox placement.
Why Use a Subdomain?
A subdomain looks like this:
info.yourcompany.com outreach.yourcompany.com marketing.yourcompany.com
Your marketing emails will send from info@info.yourcompany.com (for example) — this protects your main business email domain (yourcompany.com) and helps keep your day-to-day emails out of spam folders.
Overview: How to Set It Up
✅ First → you’ll add your subdomain inside Advisor Nexus
✅ Then → Advisor Nexus will show you the exact DNS records you need to add
✅ You’ll copy those records and paste them into your domain’s DNS settings (example: GoDaddy)
Step 1 — Add Your Subdomain Inside Advisor Nexus
👉 Go to Settings → Domains inside Advisor Nexus.
You have two options:
Option 1 — Automated Setup (Easiest)
- Click Add Domain
- Follow the prompts to connect your domain via your registrar (GoDaddy, Google Domains, etc.)
- You must be logged in to your domain registrar for this to work.
- Advisor Nexus will attempt to automatically add the correct records.
NOTE: This is the easiest option for most users, but sometimes it can take longer to propagate.
Option 2 — Manual Setup (More control + often faster)
- Click Add Domain → Add Manually
- Enter your desired subdomain (example: info.yourcompany.com)
- Advisor Nexus will show you a list of DNS records (CNAMEs and TXT records) that you need to copy and paste into your domain settings.
- Keep this tab open — you’ll come back to it in a moment.
IMPORTANT:
👉 We do not provide these records — you must get them from inside Advisor Nexus when adding your domain. Each domain has unique records.
Step 2 — Add DNS Records in Your Domain Registrar
Example: GoDaddy
- Log in to your GoDaddy Account.
- Go to My Products → Domains → Find your domain → Click Manage DNS.
- Under DNS Management, click Add New Record for each record shown in Advisor Nexus.
Tips:
- TTL → Set the TTL to the lowest allowed value. In GoDaddy this is typically 30 minutes → this helps changes propagate faster.
- Double-check that you are adding records to the correct domain/subdomain.
- If you’re not sure where to paste the record → look at the "Name" and "Value" fields shown in Advisor Nexus and match them exactly.
Step 3 — Verify Your Domain in Advisor Nexus
Once you’ve added all the required DNS records:
- Go back to Advisor Nexus → Settings → Domains → click Verify on your new subdomain.
- Verification can take anywhere from 5 minutes to 1–2 hours depending on your domain host.
- Once verified → your emails will begin sending through your subdomain automatically.
Common Questions
What if I don’t know my GoDaddy login?
You’ll need to get access to your domain registrar account.
If you do not have access → contact the person or company who manages your website/domain.
What if I don’t use GoDaddy?
The process is very similar for other registrars:
- Google Domains
- Cloudflare
- Namecheap
- Bluehost
The key is adding the exact records shown in Advisor Nexus → same process everywhere.
What if I don’t do this setup?
If you skip this step:
- We will set up a fallback subdomain on our system → BUT your deliverability will not be as strong.
- You may see lower open rates and more emails going to spam.
👉 We strongly recommend setting up your own subdomain for best results.
Final Tips
✅ Use Manual Setup if you want full control and faster verification.
✅ Use Automated Setup if you are less technical and just want it done easily (but note that it may take a little longer).
✅ Always set TTL to 30 minutes (or lowest available).
✅ You only need to do this ONCE — after that, Advisor Nexus will handle the sending automatically.
